Summary
He raises a lighter to the unlit cylinder clenched between his teeth, cupping the flame with his hand. “You got any, uh, tests for word blindness?” he asks, taking a long drag from the cigarette.
“Dyslexia?”
Hopper stares at him blankly. “Dunno’ what that means, but I’m gonna go with yes.”
Owens furrows his brow, as he watches the man blow out a puff of smoke.
Hopper seems to understand the look. “Not me.” He juts his chin out in the direction of the chair.
“Oh” is all that comes out. Because Steve Harrington and dyslexia are not something he ever thought he’d hear about together.

Summary
Michael Wheeler thought he had known pain. He thought he had known the grief, and the guilt, and the sorrow that comes with fighting hellish monsters that come from an evil mirror dimension and feel eerily similar to their counterparts from his favourite board game since he was literally 12. So why did it hurt so much now?
So why did it hurt so much now?

El nodded "Yeah, I figured. Wanna tell me what you're thinking?"
Mike thought about it for a moment "Just- what if we could turn back time and change everything?"

Summary
"But, here she is, sitting in front of a hay bale in a dirty barn. Next to William Byers. Who is, and ALWAYS is, eyeing up Micheal Wheeler like he created the Earth from nothing but dust. And yet, Will refuses to admit it. Robin knows what she's seeing, she's not dense, but she's not... Entirely sure how to bring this up."

Summary
Mike's life is split in three categories; the life he should have, the life he wants to have, and the life he has to have. Currently, he's living in limbo between all three; he'll never have that white-picket fence and suburban wife, not when the only girl he could try to love has left him, and while he's finding it harder to live the life he has to have— the life where he hides himself so deep, not even the people he loves know who he is— he'll never get the life he wants, either.
Limbo sucks, to put it simply. He's so close to what he wants (which is Will, no matter how hard he tries to shove it down) but he just can't push past that barrier and talk to Will, not when everything he does always feels wrong.
But, maybe, Mike might come to learn that what he wants isn’t so bad, after all.
(Or; Mike's struggle with his internalized homophobia— among other things, including the concept of free will, Robin Buckley's mildly terrifying presence, and wanting things Mike's sure he doesn't deserve— structured around the five stages of grief. You can mourn a life you'll never live, and you can mourn someone you haven't actually lost.)

Summary
Robin Buckley is going insane.
She’s sat on the couch with Nancy Wheeler stood behind her carefully cutting away chunks of black hair from her singed scalp where she’d nearly lit herself on fire. In her defence, holding the flame thrower was Steve’s job, but Mr Hair had been nursing a dislocated shoulder for the last couple weeks, and Robin was nominated to pick up on his sloppy seconds. The thing was heavy, okay? How could any one expect her, a 120lb mess of gangly limbs and zero hand eye coordination to wield (what felt like at least) 200lbs of pure steel? She’s only partially to blame for her new, frankly horrific, pixie cut.
Surprisingly though, that’s not the reason she’s going insane.
She’s sat on a moth eaten couch in a horrifically serial-killer-esque cabin in the middle of butt fuck nowhere with several generations of people she would’ve turned on her heel and ran from in high school, spending her every waking hour trying to survive the literal apocalypse or devising a plan to kill an alternate dimensional blood thirsty wizard and it has nothing to do with why she is going insane.
It’s the two teenage boys preparing dinner to her left that are the cause.

Summary
“Find that inner strength now, use that well of pride!” He motivated his men. “Fight through every pain now, ask yourself inside: What do you live for? What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for?” He motivated his soldiers.
The men repeated his words. “What do you live for? What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for?”
“Irenaeus, Irenaeus…and Eulalia…I fight for us, I fight for us!” He dragged out, yearning for the wife and child he left ten years ago.
What do you try for? “Irenaeus…”
What do you wish for? “Eulalia…”
What do you fight for? “Attack!”

Silence, he hadn’t intended on Mike hearing that. “You…” He looks at Will with the most vulnerable look ever. “You know about those?”
